Different Revision Increment in one SVN Repository

How to make a branch have different revision increment in one repository

Example:

Repo ----master
     |
     ----trunk

when i commit on trunk 5 times and then merge it to master

the result:

Repo ----master (rev:1)
     |
     ----trunk (rev:5)

and then i commit on trunk 4 times and then merge it to master

the result:

Repo ----master (rev:2)
     |
     ----trunk (rev:9)

can it be done in SVN?

Solution

  • No. These revision numbers are an internal id for SVN to identify revisions. Even if you don't change the code at all, but only SVN-properties it get's it's own revision-number. SVN doesn't allow the user to set a revision number for a commit and frankly I don't see the need for this. If you want to make such counts, you have to do it independently from SVN.
